-Nate, Isaac, Carl and Levi went backpacking near the Manistee River for a couple of nights. They celebrated Nate's return of freedom! He was able to drive again and return to work. 

-We celebrated Stephen's 12th birthday! He requested oreo ice cream dessert and received a new Switch game along with some Lions gear. Stephen still loves watching football and musicals. He enjoys playing soccer, is learning the tenor sax at school and is part of the science club. The adjustment to middle school was a little tough at first, but now he thinks middle school is great. Stephen cares well for others and we love him very much! 

-We finally were able to have Enedina's family over to celebrate all the birthdays we missed during Nate's cancer treatment. We celebrated Naomi, Nolbi and Ruth's birthdays. It was great to see how much Enoc had grown as well. 

-Thanksgiving was a smaller affair with us and my parents as Enedina's family was out of town and Tim's family lives in AZ now. We are so grateful for another Thanksgiving together!
